Went into A and E via ambulance as sitting patient, asked to lie down as felt so ill but not allowed to in assessment room or before, not good but doctor, who I saw quite quickly, very good and assessed quickly after X-ray, blood tests etc and diagnosed dehydration and low sodium levels. Put on fluids with sodium IV drip quickly. Eventually sent up to Ward 34 on drip and doctor seen very good and explained well. Nurses good too. Then sent to Ward 41for 2 nights where also diagnosis, which also included lung infection, and care by doctors, nurses and pharmacist excellent. They explained everything really carefully and fully.
I would like to thank everyone who dealt with me in the hospital very much.
"Thank you very much"
